Hey there, I did some random fiddling around with my Lenovo Ideapad 320/Windows 10 and now I have the following msg when I use Firefox browser..... "XUL runner: The profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile". I am able to use my browser ordinarily but this msg comes up when I open the browser. I am at not at all knowledgeable about this kind of thing, so should I just ignore and carry on browsing or what would you suggest I do? If the problem needs to be resolved by me, I would definitely a point by point explanation to rectify this. Look forward to hearing from you and hope you're having a good day so far

Hello I use webrtc to organise online calls and, for some time now, I've noticed that I'm getting echoes on Firefox whereas in the same situation (same output/input) I'm not getting any on Chrome...

I've tried looking at the getUserMedia level by changing the following parameters: **echoCancellation**, **autoGainControl**, **noiseSuppression** but that doesn't change anything.

I have the impression that this is due to the latest browser update...

No problem with chrome.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Watching videos on Twitter/X doesn't seem to work too well on Firefox. I don't have an account, but I sometimes have to watch a clip on the site. The problem is that you cannot skip the video i.e. you cannot move the dot that shows where you are on the video; you have to watch it from the start, till the end. You cannot also change the volume, apart from clicking on the "mute", so technically here you have the options of full sound and no sound. Twitter has always worked perfectly on the Microsoft Edge that came with the Windows on this desktop PC (bought in fall 2020).

In the last couple of days, I have been having troubles editing Google Docs documents. Certain actions cause the cursor to jump around in the document.

For example, if I am sitting in a bulleted list, if I invoke the "increase indent" function through a menu or through the keyboard shortcut (tab key), the increase indent function executes correctly, but then the cursor moves to a new position a few lines earlier in the document.

Other operations cause similar movement of the cursor.

I am not alone in seeing this. When I originally encountered it I tried google support and found this thread where somebody else reported similar behaviour: https://support.google.com/docs/thread/236206911/cursor-jumps-to-some-random-location-when-i-press-enter-or-tab?hl=en-GB&sjid=15035544943505962877-NA .

I contributed to that thread, and on the advice of Google technical support tried various things. I disabled all my add-ons and refreshed firefox. The problem still occurred. But if I tried Google Chrome, I did not see the problem.

The problem persists across different documents.

I observed the problem in two separate environments: on both my laptop and my desktop computers. In both cases I'm running the latest release version of firefox (117.0.1). My desktop runs windows 11 while my laptop runs windows 10 -- both are up-to-date.

However, my wife can edit the same documents without seeing the problem. So, it's something specific to my environment. We use the same add-ons. The only difference I can think of is that I use a firefox account for syncing bookmarks across devices while she does not.

If I can provide any additional information, please let me know. Thanks!

Whenever I use google docs, and try to select text, move between headings, format text, or type, my cursor will jump up significantly, either a few lines, or several headings depending on the action being performed. tested in other browsers, only occurs in firefox, and even booting it up in troubleshooting mode does not resolve the issue.

this is the only site where this occurs, so I thought it was an extension, but troubleshooting mode seems to indicate that it's not. Attempting to clear caches and reload the site doesn't work either. Currently using a wireless keyboard and mouse, not on a laptop with a touchpad, so it doesn't seem to be an input issue Like touching a pad indiscriminately. Advice?

I was trying to create an account for the first time to use Firefox sync on a different computer and I guess I must have either somehow entered my age wrong or be having some weird error. Now when I go to click sign it it still says I cannot create an account due to age requirements. I have made this account on my other computer, but I am hoping to still be able to sync my browser from the computer that is having this problem.

I've been having this issue for several months now. It seems my Firefox on MacOS (Both Monterey and Ventura Intel) can't load any Google sites (google.com, gmail, google meet, etc) after I put the computer to sleep and wake it up again. Only gets fixed after quitting and relaunching firefox.

I've recreated this issue while in "Troubleshooting Mode" with all my addon's disabled, so it is not related to an addon.

This issue might be also happening after some amount of time idle as well, but I've only been able to recreate it by putting the machine to sleep and waking it up the next day.

Is there a way to fix this? or is there a way to get more debug info to help diagnose?

Suddenly, I found I could not access Wall St Journal through my public library website using Firefox: I had one-time accessed Wash Post through the same site vs. daily accessing WSJ and after that any access would lead me to WP and not offer WSJ as a choice. Per the public library advice, I switched to Edge and immediately could access WSJ per usual and did not have the problem as with Firefox. Why? I have also had some sites which could not be accessed through Firefox but only through another browser like Edge.

Although I have disabled all relevant "sync" settings in Firefox, the browser is still syncing tabs across my MacBookAir and my iMac.

To make matters worse, tabs in Chrome and Safari sync to Firefox tabs across devices as well. The sync occurs in both directions.

I am not logged into Chrome or my gmail account.

Specs: MacBookAir: early 2015/ OS v. 12.7 (Monterey) iMac: Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017 / OS 12.6.8 (Monterey)

Things I've tried:

  • Turning off syncing in Firefox on both devices.
  • Signing out of Firefox from both devices.
  • Disabling "sync open tabs" via Firefox preferences
  • Renaming devices from within Firefox Sync. (The name always reverts to the previous one.)
  • Reinstalling Firefox
  • Deleting cache from both Firefox and Chrome.
  • Restarting

Images are from toolbar on iMac when Firefox is open on both computers. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!
